Optimizing early oral development for your child’s long-term health

In this episode, Dr Margreet talks with Janay Alexander-Gilchrist about optimizing early oral development for your child’s long-term health.

Janay, the General Manager of the Kids & Baby Division at Curaden South Africa, is a passionate advocate for early oral development. With a wealth of experience as a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Psychotherapist, Hypnobirthing Practitioner, Buteyko Breathing Practitioner, and Master NLP Practitioner, Janay brings a unique perspective to her role.

As a mother herself, Janay understands the profound impact that healthy oral care has on a child’s long-term well-being. Her belief in the power of empowering parents drives her mission to help families make informed decisions about their children’s health.

“Having a child is a life-changing experience,” Janay says. “When parents feel knowledgeable and confident, they can trust their instincts and create a supportive environment for their little ones.”

Janay emphasizes the far-reaching effects of optimal oral development, extending beyond just dental health. By ensuring proper jaw, tongue, and palate development, parents can positively impact their child’s breathing, feeding, eating, nutrition, speech, swallowing, digestion, and overall systemic health.
